Here are some thoughts for male chauvinists to consider...
The leader of a wolf pack is always a female. Among the Great Horned Owls the females hoot baritone and the males hoot soprano. While Poppa Lion, so-called King of the Jungle, lies around dozing it’s Momma Lion who does the hunting and takes care of the kids (next time some husband says he’s King of his castle give a chuckle). . .
Got arthritis? One medical specialist strongly recommends more sex to his suffering patients. Seems that sex stimulates the adrenal gland - the adrenal gland secretes cortisone - and cortisone relieves pain and swelling in inflamed joints.
Where’s that Doctor? . . .
In Thailand if a woman was still unmarried at age thirty she had the right to apply to the government for a husband. Before you buy your airline tickets be advised it was several years ago. Nor did they mention whether or not she got to pick the man herself. Besides, if the government was running the program. . .well. . .
When the Byzantine Emperor Justinian controlled Rome he decreed any couple could divorce by mutual consent . . .if they vowed lifelong chastity ever after. Think it worked?
Ancient Athenians may have had a better idea . . . their marriages lasted longer than any other Greek city of the time. Seems that Athenian law required divorcing husbands to give back the wife’s dowry! Since the wife could kick out her husband and recover her dowry if dissatisfied it must have given second thoughts to many a lackluster husband . . .
Speaking of dowries. . .what about the “New World” practice. When the English first settled in Jamestown the price of a new bride was 120 pounds of tobacco. Now there was a group who knew the value of a good woman. Tobacco was their most valued asset . . .
. . .Stay Tuned!
